I had a wonderful stay at the hotel Thanks to the helpful staff who made my experience enjoyable. The rooms were clean and comfortable, providing a great view from the top floor. I even found the bed so cozy that I was falling asleep early every night during my stay. However, the price was a bit steep, which could be improved, but overall, it was a pleasant experience that makes me want to come back again.
